Telephones, Towels and Checkout
If you brought a cellular telephone with you, you can hook it up in your room to the electric outlet, or turn it off and shove it in a drawer, to not be bothered. You wonít need to ask the staff for the phone number, as you should already know yours. (A blast from KFest Pasts). Please stack up your linens at checkout and return them to the collection cart whos location will be pointed out during the week. We are in charge of the linens ourselves this year and they need to be handled separately. Checkout is by 11AM or so on Sunday morning. Please do not loose any key cards. They cost $50 to replace. We did good last year and returned them all. Lets show the uni- versity students how to do it.

Presenter: Ryan Suenaga Topic: Suck Free Zone 2007 Platform: Apple IIgs
Ryan Suenaga is trying to continue his streak of KansasFests with a product to release, thereby eliminating the KansasFest Curse of Sheppy, which states that a developer who doesn't have a prod- uct to release at KansasFest sucks. Will he avoid being a vacuum cleaner reasonable facsimile again in 2007? Or will he be worth the same as a 50 cent ten minute job at the local gas station?

Even with an interest in retro-computing, it is important to stay sharp on the cutting-edge. Take a stab at GS/OS 6.0.1 with a dissected look at all the files of which it consists and what their function is. You don't need to be a swordsmith to forge ahead to see how to get modern function- ality out of Microsoft Windows Vista. It will be pointedly clear that Windows Vista has a natural progression of features from those familiar with an Apple IIgs, no matter which way you slice it. Õ

Spam: The Documentary explores the annoying consequences of a seemingly useful invention: e-mail spam. In a humorous and insightful look into the global culture of spam, filmmaker David Manning meets with Monty Python's Terry Jones, tracks down a spammer in Las Vegas, talks with the world's foremost anti-spammer, and visits the secret control room of AOL.
What is spam? Where does it come from? How does it work? Manning's search for these answers takes him on a journey inside a bizarre cyber culture that is surprisingly human and three-dimensional. The legendary spam skit from Monty Python mocked the famous canned luncheon meat and then inspired the popular name for annoying, uninvited e-mail. However, there is a real concern that e-mail spam, if left unchecked, could completely clog the internet.
While investigating this intrusive marketing machine, Manning also responds to offers for penis enlargement, the purchase of a genuine Rolex watch and a quick weight reduction method promising lost inches in just 60 minutes.
Spam: The Documentary is directed by David Manning and produced by Scott Dobson. Sally Blake and Jeannette Loakman of Chocolate Box Entertainment (Toronto) are the executive producers. Õ
